Thank you for your response! Maybe the celexa isn't working..or it's too small of a dose. Last time I took Celexa it gave me anxiety but my psyD says 'it's a great medicine, you just weren't on high enough of a dose' - so annoying

Hi, stace! I agree ~ give it a little more time. You have plenty of room to increase your Celexa dose if you need to ~ 10mg is a very low dose while you're tapering off the Effexor. You probably will feel better when you get to a higher dose.Medications affect everyone differently, but Celexa is one of the antidepressants that's prescribed for depression with anxiety.Best wishes, WCV

Thanks WCV!! It's strange, this is the 3rd time on celexa and it seems to be this 'i feel like i want to crawl out of my skin anxious and paranoid' until 3 pm and then I'm fine! I NEVER increased to 20 mg b/c i felt like those symptoms would just get worse. I also never gave the med more than 5 weeks. So I think my psych is going to say to increase the dose and give it more time even though i'm a little worried. Effexor NEVER made me feel anything but great and like 'me' but my BP went through the ROOF and that's just not healthy. always something, right? :)
